King Jim Cuts Full-Year Earnings Forecasts Despite Expecting Year-on-Year Growth

King Jim Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7962) ) just unveiled an announcement.

King Jim revised downward its consolidated earnings forecasts for the first half and full fiscal year ending June 20, 2026, citing weaker-than-expected sales in both its Stationery and Office Supplies business—particularly sluggish demand for electronic products such as “TEPRA”—and softer performance at Lifestyle Products subsidiaries Bon Furniture and Life on Products. For the first half, the company now expects lower net sales and operating profit than previously forecast, and a sharp reduction in profit attributable to owners of the parent due in part to higher income tax expenses, although profits are still projected to improve versus the prior-year period. For the full fiscal year, net sales and all profit metrics are still expected to exceed last year’s levels but fall short of earlier guidance, with management pointing to the negative impact of yen depreciation on profitability, signaling a more challenging earnings environment and potentially tempering investor expectations despite year-on-year growth.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:7962) stock is a Hold with a Yen884.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on King Jim Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:7962 Stock Forecast page.
